BEIJING: Despite intensified supervision, the level of fraudulent litigation has remained at a high level over the past three years, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate said in a recent report.
Fraud litigation refers to individuals or entities using means such as forging evidence or making false statements to initiate civil litigation, thereby undermining judicial order or seriously infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of others.
Common scenarios include collusion between spouses to fabricate joint debts, and collusion with others to fabricate debt relationships and agreements involving material assets.
According to the white paper on civil prosecution work issued by the SPP on March 9, procuratorates nationwide corrected 9,359 civil litigation cases involving false litigation last year, 9,731 cases in 2022, and 8,829 cases in 2021.
Disputes over loan, labor and sales contracts together accounted for over 70 percent of the cases, it said.
The annual work report of the SPP for 2023, which was approved by the National People’s Congress on March 11, stated that procuratorial organs prosecuted 925 individuals for fraudulent litigation. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
